ROOT CANAL TREATMENT (RCT)

A tooth has three layers enamel, dentin and pulp. When the cavity is so deep that it has reached the pulp, Root Canal Treatment has to be done. In this all the infection from within the tooth is removed, all the canals in the root are cleaned and medicament is placed. The tooth is sealed so  that no infection seeps in after Root Canal Treatment. After performing Root Canal Treatment, the tooth becomes weak and brittle. That’s why post Root Canal Treatment crown is very important to protect the tooth. Placing a crown helps the tooth to be strong and capable of withstanding the forces as in the normal tooth. Now-a-days even badly broken teeth can be saved by Root Canal Treatment and rebuilding with metal or white fiber post n core as long as even 1-2 mm of tooth is visible.
